Active matter, which ranges from molecular motors to groups of animals, exists at different
length scales and timescales, and various computational models have been proposed to …

Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search
for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including the locomotion of
cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender …

Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

Bacteria predate plants and animals by billions of years. Today, they are the world's smallest
cells, yet they represent the bulk of the world's biomass and the main reservoir of nutrients …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

Microswimmers exhibit an intriguing, highly-dynamic collective motion with large-scale
swirling and streaming patterns, denoted as active turbulence–reminiscent of classical high …

The locomotion of swimming bacteria in simple Newtonian fluids can successfully be
described within the framework of low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics. The presence of …

We propose a hydrodynamic model for a spheroidal microswimmer with two tangential
surface velocity modes. This model is analytically solvable and reduces to Lighthill's and …
